Help Guadalupe pay for emergency hernia repair at Bucaramanga Orthopedic Institute

Guadalupe was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at Bucaramanga Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,700, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,350 short. my mother has been in and out of Bucaramanga Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Guadalupe struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Guadalupe won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $1,350 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $160 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $590 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $570 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
